“There is no such thing as a single-issue struggle because we do not live single-issue lives”

In Canada, we celebrate Black History Month each February because Jean Augustine, the first African Canadian woman elected to Parliament, made a motion in 1995 that passed unanimously.
At the Women’s Centre, we are committed to accountable anti-racism, to listening and learning from people who are the experts of their own experiences, and we remain committed to directing our privilege and power toward an equitable future.
In keeping with the theme for Black History Month 2025, “Black Legacy and Leadership: Celebrating Canadian History and Uplifting Future Generations,” we will highlight stories, podcasts, and articles by Black feminists, activists, journalists and artists. Join us in celebrating the critical perspectives and creative contributions of Black women and gender-diverse people this month and every month.
